I think you have the part number wrong. This is a major teardown and my suggestion is given your earlier problem and the fact that this is troubled model I would think very seriously about replacing it.

Here are the steps to the repair if you do decide to go forward.

1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Remove Top Cover.
3. Remove Console.
4. Remove Front Panel.
5. Remove Back Cover.
6. Remove Pump Hose.
7. Remove the Drain Hose
8. Remove Motor
9. Remove the two 13mm bolts securing the Rear Struts
to the base.
10.Rotate the struts up against the bottom of the tub to
ease removal of the tub assembly.

NOTE: The rear struts can be identified by the green
